NOTE If you are using a docking station or an external power supply, you can insert an
uncharged battery and use the device while the battery charges.
Assuming the default power saving parameters and battery reserve level have not been altered, a battery can
be removed for up to 4 minutes without losing data. After 4 minutes the hand-held may reboot.
When the unit is turned off, normally it automatically enters a power-saving, suspend state. When the Omnii
is switched on from the suspend state, operation resumes within a few seconds in the screen in which you
were working prior to turning the computer off.
IMPORTANT If your Omnii fails to power up, consider the following troubleshooting
options:
To switch on the hand-held, you will need to replace the overheated battery.
However, if you supply AC power to the Omnii with a battery that falls below
the configured Suspend Threshold, the unit will switch on.
IMPORTANT Turning off the hand-held does not result in a complete shutdown; rather,
the unit enters a power-saving, suspend state. When the Omnii is turned
on from suspend state, operation resumes within a few seconds.
Press and hold down the [FN] key and the [Power] button simultaneously for a minimum of
four seconds.
NOTE For radio specifications, switching from Windows Zero Config to WiFi Config

Connectivity
For information on connecting the Omnii to a PC, refer to Data Transfer Between Omnii and a PC on
page 2-36.
The Omnii contains an integrated 802.11a/b/g/n radio module. The Wi-Fi Config application is used to
configure the radio for one or more wireless network profiles. To configure the radio, follow the steps outlined
under the heading Wi-Fi Config - Setting Up the 802.11a/b/g/n Radio on page 4-33.
The Omnii is also available with one of the following Wireless WAN radio options: the Cinterion MC75i EDGE
or the Cinterion PH8-P HSPA+. Refer to Wireless Radios on page E-6 in Appendix E: Omnii Specifications
for full specifications. With either of these radios and a SIM card, you can wirelessly transfer data (see
Appendix G: Wireless Wide Area Network (WWAN)), and you can use the Omnii voice option to place phone
calls (refer to The Phone on page 3-4 and The Phone Managing Settings on page 4-51).
If you have a GPS (Global Positioning System) module, you can choose from a set of GPS profiles built into
the modem and set up AGPS (Assisted Global Positioning System). See GPS (Global Positioning System)
on page 4-66.
Data Transfer
Data transfer options vary slightly depending on the type of operating system installed in your PC. Various
options exist depending on whether you are using Windows XP or earlier, Windows Vista or Windows 7. For
connection details, refer to Data Transfer Between Omnii and a PC on page 2-36.

about using the phone options, refer to The Phone on page 3-4 and The Phone Managing Settings on
page 4-51.
NOTE The voice option is not available in North America for the Cinterion MC75i EDGE radio.
CHAPTER 2 GETTING TO KNOW YOUR
OMNII
Operating System
Microsoft Windows Embedded Hand-Held 6.5
Battery Details
Omnii Hand-Held Computers operate by lithium-ion battery packs, Model ST3001.
Battery Safety
IMPORTANT Before attempting to install, use, or charge the battery pack, it is crit-
ical that you review and follow the important safety guidelines in the
quick reference guide entitled Omnii Hand-Held Computer Regula-
tory & Warranty Guide, PN 8000191.
To protect data, the safest place to store data is on a microSD memory card or externally on a USB memory
stick or on a PC. You can also save data in the Flash Disk partition of the file system.
Refer to Suspend Threshold and Estimated Battery Backup on page 4-10 for details about reserving battery
power for data backup purposes.
The Suspend Threshold adjustment in the Power Properties tab allows you to determine the battery capacity at
which the Omnii will be shut down. If left at the default value, Maximum Operating Time, the unit will run until
the battery is completely empty; the RAM is only backed up for a short period of time. If you choose Maximum
Backup Time, the Omnii shuts off with more energy left in the battery so RAM can be backed up for a longer
period of time.
IMPORTANT If your Omnii fails to power up, consider the following troubleshooting options:
To switch on the hand-held, you will need to replace the overheated battery.
However, if you supply AC power to the Omnii with a battery that falls
below the configured Suspend Threshold, the unit will switch on.
2-6 Omnii (Windows Embedded Hand-Held 6.5) User Guide
Normally it takes 3 to 4 hours to charge a battery. The Omnii intelligent charging system protects the battery
from over-charging by terminating the charge process when the battery is at maximum capacity.
IMPORTANT To avoid damaging the battery, chargers will not begin the charge
process until the battery temperature is between 0C to 45C (32F
to 113F).
The Keyboard
The Omnii can be ordered with a wide variety of Alpha and Numeric keyboard layouts. See:
http://www.Zebra.com/US-EN/Product+Lines/Psion/?WT.mc_id=psion_us_p_handheld
for a list of available configurations. Most of the keys on these keyboards operate much like a desktop
computer. Where a key or key function is not consistent with the PC keyboard, those differences are described
in the following sections.
Depending on the type of keyboard on your Omnii, the keyboard is equipped with a dedicated [Power] button
or an [ENTER/Power] combination key both of which allow you to switch the unit on.
The [BLUE/FN] modifier key provides access to additional keys and system functions. These functions are
colour coded in blue print above the keyboard keys.

Standard Keys
The [ENTER/Power] Key
The [ENTER/Power] key is used to execute the usual Enter keyboard functions as well as to power the unit on
and off for keyboards not equipped with a dedicated [Power] button (for details, refer to Switching the Omnii
On and Off on page 1-6).
NOTE 55-key and 66-key keyboards are equipped with a [Power] button. For these key-
boards, the [ENTER] key does not switch on the unit.
Press the [SHIFT] key twice to lock the shift state on (the shift-state will be outlined in a black frame to indicate
it is locked on). Press [SHIFT] again to turn the shift state off.
To access CAPS LOCK mode, press [FN] + [SHIFT]. In this state, if you press a numeric key, the number is
displayed rather than the normal shifted function of that key. Press [FN] + [SHIFT] again to turn the CAPS
LOCK mode off.
2-8 Omnii (Windows Embedded Hand-Held 6.5) User Guide
The [DEL] key ([FN] +[BACKSPACE]) erases the character at the current cursor position.
Modifier Keys
The [SHIFT], [CTRL], [ALT], [FN] and [SYM] keys are modifier keys that change the function of the next
key pressed.
The [SHIFT], [CTRL] and [ALT] keys operate much like a desktop keyboard except that they are not chorded
(two keys held down simultaneously). The modifier key must be pressed first followed by the key whose func-
tion you want modified.
[SYM]
NOTE When using the Mobile Devices SDK Developers' Guide (PN 8100016), note
that the [SYM] key is interchangeable with the [ORANGE] key.
The Symbol [SYM] modifier key provides access to commonly used symbolic characters. Pressing the [SYM]
key brings up the Symbol soft input panel (SIP) onscreen keyboard, with symbols mapped to each key.
Getting To Know Your Omnii 2 - 9
NOTE Modifier keys are remapped using the Scancode Remapping applet. The Symbol
SIP will automatically display and use the new mappings after the next reboot.
The onscreen keyboard corresponds to the specific keyboard on your Omnii either numeric or alphanu-
meric. The sample below reflects an alphanumeric keyboard layout.
To help you identify when a modifier key is locked on, the key is represented in the shift-state indicator icon
with a black frame around it.
2 - 10 Omnii (Windows Embedded Hand-Held 6.5) User Guide
Once a modifier key is unlocked or turned off, it is no longer displayed in the shift-state indicator icon.
NOTE The locking function of the modifier keys can be changed so that pressing a
modifier key once will lock it on.
If you disable the One Shot function of the key, pressing it once will lock the
key on. Pressing the same key a second time will unlock or turn it off. Refer to
OneShots on page 4-46 for details.
All function keys and macro keys can be custom defined for each application. The Open TekTerm application
utilizes these keys (for detailed information, see the Open TekTerm Software User Manual, PN 8000073).
Function Keys
Function keys perform special, custom-defined functions within an application. These keys are accessed by
pressing one of the dedicated function keys on the keyboard, or through the appropriate [SHIFT] or [FN] key
sequence, depending on the keyboard variant being used.
To access the blue function keys, press the [FN] key followed by the appropriate alpha or function key.
Function keys [F1] through [F24] can be used with the Windows Embedded Hand-Held 6.5 operating system
or another application. The additional function keys, [F25] through [F30] along with the macros, are not used as
part of the Windows Embedded Hand-Held 6.5 operating system.
To access the white function keys, press the [SHIFT] key followed by the appropriate function key.
Getting To Know Your Omnii 2 - 11
Macro Keys
IMPORTANT Refer to Macro Keys on page 4-47 for details about creating macros.
Several of the Omnii keyboards are equipped with a series of macro keys that can be programmed to replace
frequently used keystrokes, along with the function of executable keys like the [ENTER/Power] key, the
[BACKSPACE] key, any function key and arrow key, etc.
To access a macro key, press the [FN] key followed by the macro key.
To access a macro key, press the [FN] key followed by the macro key. To create a macro, refer to Macro Keys
on page 4-47.
Whether your keyboard does or does not have macro keys physically stamped on the keyboard, up to 15
macro functions can be added using the Scancode Remapping function. Refer to Scancode Remapping on
page 4-49 for details about mapping keys.
Alpha Modified Numeric 789 keyboards have each blue alphabetic character assigned as a single [FN]-shifted
character on individual keys.
Numeric 123 keyboards have telephone-style alphabetic keys, with the blue alphabetic characters located in
groups of 3 or 4 above each of the numeric keys. To access characters on these keyboards, a few extra steps
are needed, as described below.
NOTE The following examples assume that the [FN] key is enabled as Lock mode in
the One Shot screen (accessed by choosing Start>Settings>Personal>Buttons
icon). In Lock mode, pressing the [FN] key once locks it on. Refer to One-
Shots on page 4-46 for details.
The examples below illustrate how to access A, B and C, all of which are printed in blue characters above the
numeric key [2] on a 36-Key Long Numeric 123 keyboard.
IMPORTANT The letters you choose appear in the shift-indicator icon at the top of
the screen, providing a visual indicator of which letter will be dis-
played on the screen.
Press the [FN] key, and press the numeric key [2].
2 - 12 Omnii (Windows Embedded Hand-Held 6.5) User Guide
NOTE To choose the second, third or fourth alpha character assigned to a numeric key,
you may want to lock the [FN] key on. Remember that depending on how your
Omnii is set up in the One Shots tab, you may find that you need to press the
[FN] key twice to lock it on. Refer to OneShots on page 4-46 for details.
Lock the [FN] key on, and press [2] three times.
Press the [FN] key again to unlock or turn it off.
NOTE Keep in mind that there is a timeout of one second between key presses when
sequencing through the alphabetic characters on a key. If you pause longer
than one second between key presses, the alphabetic character that is dis-
played at that time will be entered.
To access CAPS LOCK mode, press [FN] + [SHIFT]. In this state, if you press a numeric key, the number is

Scanners and Imagers
IMPORTANT It is critical that you review the Laser Warnings in the Omnii
Hand-Held Computer Regulatory & Warranty Guide (PN 8000191)
before using any of the scanners described in this chapter.
NOTE To enable a newly-installed imager or scanner, press and hold down the [FN]
key and the [ENTER/Power] key simultaneously for a minimum of three sec-
onds. If your unit has a [Power] button, press and hold down the [FN] key and
the [Power] button for a minimum of three seconds.
The Omnii supports a wide range of scanner options to address a variety of user application requirements.
Refer to the following sections for detailed information:
Scanner list and specifications: Appendix D: Internal Imager & Scanner Specifications.
Configuration: Scanner Settings on page 4-89 and Manage Triggers on page 4-72.
Scanning Techniques outlines the mechanics of a successful scan.
Scanner Status LED, Sounds, and Vibrations details how to interpret whether or not a barcode has been
successfully scanned.
Barcode Parameters: Appendix C: Scanner Settings.
Imager Settings: Appendix B: Imagers Applet.
Troubleshooting provides some helpful suggestions should the scan fail.
Long Range: reads large 1D barcodes (55 mil) at long distances (up to 3 m).
Standard Range/High Performance: reads damaged or low contrast regular 1D barcodes (5 - 55 mil) at
medium distances (up to 1m).
Extended Range: reads regular 1D barcodes (5 - 55 mil) at short to medium distances (1 m), as well as
large 1D barcodes (e.g. 55 mil) at long distances.
1D Imager: reads regular 1D and PDF417 barcodes at short to medium distances.
Getting To Know Your Omnii 2 - 18
EA11 2D imager: reads 1D and 2D barcodes including damaged and low contrast regular 1D barcodes.
Smallest barcode at 5 mil with a minimum read distance to 2.8 inches and a maximum read distance of 5.1
inches; largest barcode at 40 mil with a minimum read distance of 3.1 inches and a maximum distance of
32.4 inches.
EA20X 2D imager: reads 1D and 2D barcodes including damaged and low contrast regular 1D barcodes.
Smallest barcode at 6 mil with a minimum read distance of 6.1 inches and a maximum read distance of 9.1
inches. Largest barcode at 40 mil with a minimum read distance of 5.1 inches and a maximum read dis-
tance of 49.2 inches.
SE4600LR imager: captures digital images for transmission to a decoder to decode a barcode of any
format supported by the decoding software. Uses laser aiming, LED illumination, and CMOS sensors to
capture barcode images over an extended range and under a wide variety of lighting conditions.
Scanning Techniques
Hold the scanner at an angle. Do not hold it perpendicular to the barcode.
Do not hold the scanner directly over the barcode. In this position, light can reflect back into the scanners
exit window and prevent a successful decode.
Scan the entire barcode. If you are using a 1D or PDF laser scanner, make certain that the scan beam
crosses every bar and space on the barcode, including the margins on either end of the symbol.
If you are using a 2D imaging scanner, make certain the red, oval shaped framing mark is centered within
the barcode you want to scan.
When using imaging scanners, do not move the scanner while decoding the barcode. Movement blurs
the image.
Hold the scanner farther away for larger barcodes.
Hold the scanner closer for barcodes with bars that are close together.
A barcode icon appears on the screen during a scan. While the scanner beam is active, the onscreen message
states: SCANNING. If you want to turn off the onscreen message, disable the Scan Indicator. (Refer to Scan
Indicator on page 4-90.
When the scan is successful, the barcode data is displayed on the screen until the scan button (or pistol
trigger) is released, but only if the Scan Result parameter is turned on. Refer to Scan Result on page 4-90.
You can also enable sounds and vibrations to indicate good and bad scans by enabling Good Scan Beep and
Bad Scan Beep and Good and Bad Scan Vibrates. Refer to Good Scan Beep and Bad Scan Beep on
page 4-91 for details.

Troubleshooting
If the scanner is not working, investigate the following:
IMPORTANT If an aiming dot is available on the installed scanner, the dot will be
enabled for a configurable time period (including off), after which
normal scanning begins. Refer to Dot Time (msec) on page C-4 in
Appendix C: Scanner Settings for details.
Double-clicking the trigger will override the aiming delay and initiate
an immediate scan. Note that the aiming dot is standard on
long-range and high visibility internal scanners.
Aim at the barcode and press the scan key or the trigger. A scan beam and a warning indicator appear until
a successful decode is achieved or six seconds have elapsed.
NOTE When scanning multiple barcodes, ensure that all of the desired barcodes are
within the field of view of the scanner. It is possible that even when all barcodes
are within the field of view, not all of them will be decoded. Only successfully
decoded barcodes are passed to the application program. The application pro-
gram then issues a warning, asking that you scan the missing barcodes.
When scanning a single barcode, ensure that only the desired barcode is
within the field of view of the scanner.
Because imager scanners generally have a shorter depth of field than laser scanners, some practise may be
required to find the optimal distance from the types of barcodes being scanned. Although the imager includes
illumination LEDs, ambient light will help the imager decode the barcodes, especially if the barcode is far from
the hand-held.
Getting To Know Your Omnii 2 - 20
IMPORTANT Keep in mind that the imager scanner is a camera, and the LED illu-
mination is a flash. Glare can be an issue on reflective media such
as plastic coated barcodes, just as glare is an issue for photogra-
phers. When pointing at a shiny surface, either shift the barcode to
the side or top, or angle the barcode so that the glare reflects away
from the imager scanner.
Turn the hand-held computer on. Wait until the unit has booted up completely.
Aim at the barcode and press the scan key or the trigger. Hold the trigger until a successful or failed scan
result is obtained.
When the scan button or trigger is pressed, a red, oval shaped light (the framing marker) is displayed.
Centre the framing marker in the field either in the centre of the barcode you want to scan or in the
centre of the area in which multiple barcodes are to be scanned.
The illumination LEDs will flash (typically several times) and a picture of the barcode is taken.
NOTE If the touchscreen is not registering your screen taps accurately, it may need
recalibration. Refer to Calibrating the Touchscreen on page 2-13.
A touchscreen is a standard feature on all Omnii hand-held computers. Each is shipped with a stylus a
pointing tool.

General Maintenance
Caring for the Touchscreen
The touchscreen is covered with a thin, flexible polyester plastic sheet with a conductive coating on the inside.
The polyester can be permanently damaged by harsh chemicals and is susceptible to abrasions and
scratches. Using sharp objects on the touchscreen can scratch or cut the plastic, or crack the internal conduc-
tive coating. The chemicals listed below must not come into contact with the touchscreen:
mustard, ketchup
sodium hydroxide
concentrated caustic solutions
benzyl alcohol
concentrated acids
If the touchscreen is used in harsh environments, consider applying a disposable screen protector (RV6105).
These covers reduce the clarity of the display slightly but will dramatically extend the useful life of the touch-
screen. When they become scratched and abraded, they are easily removed and replaced.
Do not to expose the touchscreen to direct sunlight for prolonged periods of time. If this is unavoidable, use a
UV screen protector to extend the life of the screen.
IMPORTANT Do not immerse the unit in water. Dampen a soft cloth with mild
detergent to wipe the unit clean.
Use only mild detergent or soapy water to clean the hand-held unit.
Avoid abrasive cleaners, solvents or strong chemicals for cleaning. The Omnii has a plastic case that is
susceptible to harsh chemicals. The plastic is partially soluble in oils, mineral spirits, aircraft de-icing fluid,
and gasoline. The plastic slowly decomposes in strong alkaline solutions.
Exposure to aircraft de-icing fluids can degrade the plastics on the Omnii. If the Omnii is used near aircraft
de-icing environments, regular rinsing with water is recommended.
To clean ink marks from the keypad and touchscreen, use isopropyl alcohol.

Programs 3 - 9
The E-mail program is used to send and receive e-mail on your Omnii. It also provides access to
text messages.
To send and receive e-mail, youll need to synchronize your PC or connect to a Post Office Protocol 3 (POP3)
or Internet Message Access Protocol 4 (IMAP4) mail server.
For each of these methods, you need to set up an e-mail account with one exception Outlook e-mail
accounts are set up by default.
Folders
If you use an Outlook e-mail account, messages in the Inbox folder in Outlook are automatically synchronized
with your Omnii. You can use ActiveSync on your PC to synchronize additional folders. The folders and
messages you move are mirrored on the server.
For POP3 accounts, if you move e-mail messages to a folder you create, the link between the messages on
the Omnii and the copies on the mail server are broken. When you next connect, the mail server will recognize
that the messages are missing from the Omnii Inbox folder and delete them from the server, preventing dupli-
cation of messages. Keep in mind however that you will not have further access to messages that you moved
to folders from anywhere except with the Omnii.
For IMAP4 accounts, the folders you create and the messages you move are reflected on the server, making
messages available any time whether you connect to your mail server from your Omnii or your PC.
IMPORTANT For PCs running Windows Vista or Windows 7, follow the guidelines
under Synchronizing E-mail with Outlook (PC with Windows Vista or
Windows 7) on page 3-11.
By synchronizing the Omnii E-mail program with Outlook on your PC, your e-mail is available on both the
Omnii and on your PC.

Bluetooth Setup
Bluetooth is a global standard for wireless connectivity for digital devices and is intended for Personal Area
Networks. The technology is based on a short-range radio link that operates in the ISM band at 2.4 GHz. When
two Bluetooth-equipped devices come within a 10 meter range of each other, they can establish a connection.
Because Bluetooth utilizes a radio-based link, it does not require a line-of-sight connection in order to commu-
nicate.
Tap on Start>Settings. Tap on the Connections Folder icon followed by the Bluetooth icon.
Settings 4 - 15
To discover and list all Bluetooth devices in range of the Omnii, tap on the Scan button in the softkey bar at
the bottom of the screen.
The Omnii scans for Bluetooth devices within a 10 meter range. Any Bluetooth devices within range appear in
the Bluetooth list box. Any existing devices previously discovered and listed will also be displayed.
4 - 16 Omnii (Windows Embedded Hand-Held 6.5) User Guide
NOTE To limit the scope of the scan to a particular type of device, refer to Filtering by Class
of Device (COD) in the next section.
The Clear button removes all Bluetooth devices listed except those with currently paired and
connected services.
Pair begins the pairing process by querying the services and profiles of the discovered device. An authentica-
tion dialog box is displayed the first time a Bluetooth device is paired.
Refresh Name repeats the device name query, updating the name. This command is useful if a device is listed
without a name (unknown), or if a device name has been changed remotely.
Pairing a Device
If you intend to pair a device (a headset, for example), power the device on and bring it within 10 meters of the
Omnii before proceeding with the discovery process described below.
To pair devices:
Follow the manufacturers instructions to place the remote device in pairing mode.
Choose the Devices tab and Scan for devices in your area.
When the scan is complete, tap on the device to which you want to pair.
In the pop-up menu, choose Pair.
If the remote device has authentication enabled, type the PIN in this dialog box.
To proceed without authentication, tap on Next.
NOTE If a remote device has authentication enabled and youve skipped the authentication
process, a pop-up screen will ask if you want to allow the remote device to connect to
the Omnii. Tap on Yes and type the PIN. When authentication is complete, tap on Done.
After entering the device PIN, the Services dialog appears with a list of services available for that device.
NOTE If you choose a service requiring additional information, a dialog box is automatically
displayed where further details can be completed.
The sample dialog box below is an example of a service requiring additional information in this case, the
Serial Port Service.
This dialog box offers a number of additional options such as enabling Encryption and selecting three different
modes: Serial, ActiveSync and Scanner.
Servers Tab
When a remote Bluetooth device initiates a Bluetooth connection to the Omnii, the remote device is considered
the Bluetooth master and the hand-held, the Bluetooth slave. In order for the remote device to connect to the
Omnii, the Omnii must offer a service in the form of a server. The Servers tab allows these services to be
enabled and configured. There are three server services available: Serial, Scanner and OBEX OPP (Object
Exchange-Object Push Profile).
Settings 4 - 19
Serial server enables the Serial Port Profile server; a Serial Port can be selected from the drop-down menu.
Keep in mind that when a port is chosen, an application must be open (connected) to the chosen port for a
remote device to be able to connect.
Scanner server enables a Serial Port Profile server and then relays it to the Scanner Service (SCS). This is
used for Bluetooth barcode scanners that operate in client mode. SCS opens the server port and handles the
scanner input.
OBEX OPP server enables the Object Push Profile server. A warm reset must be performed on the Omnii after
a change is made to this option. The OPP Server allows other Bluetooth devices to send files to this device.
Tap on the checkbox to activate the server the associated port name is displayed beside the
server name.
Mode Tab
When Turn on Bluetooth is checked, Bluetooth features are available. If this option is disabled, you cannot
send or receive information using Bluetooth.
When Discoverable is enabled, other Bluetooth devices within range (approximately 10 meters) can detect
your Omnii and can establish a bond or use a Bluetooth service. Note that other devices can detect your unit
whether or not a bond has been created.
If Allow Bluetooth to wake system is enabled, this feature allows remote Bluetooth devices to wake the Omnii
by requesting a Bluetooth service that requires host intervention. This feature can also be used, when the
Omnii is waking from suspend, to significantly to reduce the initialization time of Bluetooth system.

For all keyboard types, you can program up to 15 macro keys. Some Omnii keyboards have macros keys
([M1], [M2] and so on) that are physically present on the keyboard. When you record a macro sequence and
assign it to one of these predetermined macro keys, pressing that key (e.g., [M1]) executes the macro and
sends the programmed key sequence to the hand-held as if it were entered from the keyboard.
If your keyboard does not have dedicated macro keys, or if you wish to use macro keys beyond the ones that
are already present on the keyboard, you need to use Scancode Remapping to remap keyboard keys to act as
macro keys (see Scancode Remapping on page 4-49). For example, if you record a key sequence to Macro
7, you could then use Scancode Remapping to remap the [z] key so that pressing it executes Macro 7 rather
than the letter [z].
Type the macro sequence you want to assign to a keyboard key. You can type text and numbers, and you
can program the function of special keys into a macro.
When youve finished recording your macro sequence, tap on the Stop Recording button.
Tap on the Save button to save your macro. Your macro key sequence is listed in the Macro screen.
Tap on OK to save your macro key assignment.
Executing a Macro
To execute a macro, press the key to which youve assigned the macro.
NOTE Keep in mind that if you plan to program additional macros beyond the Macro keys on
your keyboard, or if your keyboard is not equipped with dedicated macro keys, you
will need to use Scancode Remapping on page 4-49 to assign a keyboard key that
will act as a macro key.
Deleting a Macro
In the Macros tab, highlight the macro number you want to delete.
Tap on the Delete button.
Unicode Mapping
Tap on the Unicode Mapping tab to display this screen.
The Unicode Mapping tab is used to map combinations of virtual key values and [CTRL] and [SHIFT] states to
Unicode values. This tab shows the configured Unicode character along with the Unicode value. For
example, a (U+0061) indicates that the character a is represented by the Unicode value 0061, and so on.
Keep in mind that Unicode configurations are represented as hexadecimal rather than decimal values.
All user-defined Unicode mappings are listed in the Unicode Mapping tab in order of virtual key value, and then
by order of the shift state. If a Unicode mapping is not listed, the Unicode mapping is mapped to the default
Unicode value.
NOTE Changes to Unicode mappings are not saved until you exit the Unicode Mapping tab
by tapping on [OK].
Settings 4 - 49
NOTE To add a shifted state [SHIFT] and/or [CTRL], tap on the checkbox next to SHIFT
Pressed and/or CTRL Pressed.
Scancode Remapping
A scancode is a number that is associated with a physical key on a keyboard. Every key has a unique scan-
code that is mapped to a virtual key, a function, or a macro. Scancode Remapping allows you to change the
functionality of any key on the keyboard. A key can be remapped to send a virtual key (e.g. VK_F represents
the F key; VK_RETURN represents the [ENTER] key, etc.), perform a function (e.g. turn the scanner on,
change volume/contrast, etc.) or run a macro.
There are three different tables of scancode mappings: the Normal table, the FN table and the SYM table.
The Normal table defines unmodified key presses; the FN table defines key presses that occur when the
[FN/BLUE] modifier is on; the SYM table defines key presses that occur when the [SYM] modifier is on.
The default mappings of these scancodes can be overwritten for each of these three tables using
Scancode Remapping.
The first column in the Scancode Remapping tab displays the scancodes in hexadecimal. If the scancode is
remapped to a virtual key, that virtual key is displayed in the column labelled V-Key. In the column labelled
Function, virtual keys that are Shifted or Unshifted are displayed.
4 - 50 Omnii (Windows Embedded Hand-Held 6.5) User Guide
If the scancode is remapped to a function or a macro, the first and second columns remain blank while the third
column contains the function name or macro key number (e.g., Macro 2).
Adding a Remap
To add a new remapping:
NOTE The Label field displays the default function of the scancode you are remapping.
When Virtual Key is selected, you can choose to force [SHIFT] to be on or off when the virtual key is sent. If No
Force is selected, the shift state is dependent on whether the shift state is on or off at the time the virtual key
is sent.
When Function is selected, a list of valid functions appears in the dialog box.
When Macro is selected, the macro keys available on your unit are listed in the dialog box.

To determine your location, a GPS module receives data from three or more GPS satellites in fixed orbit
around the Earth. The GPS module triangulates your location based on the time it takes for signals to get to
and from the satellites. This works well in fairly clear areas outdoors, for example. However, if youre
attempting to triangulate your location in city centres where signals bounce off tall concrete buildings or from
within a building, the GPS module will have greater difficulty calculating a fix.
AGPS reduces Time To First Fix (TTFF) and increases the likelihood of finding and keeping a fix in poor
coverage areas such as indoor sites. AGPS downloads satellite ephemeris (orbital) data to the Omnii periodi-
cally through Wi-Fi or WWAN. The downloaded data is used by the GPS module to speed the process of
getting a fix.

Trigger Mappings
A trigger mapping is an association between a particular key on the keyboard and a driver or application, the
module(s) sometimes referred to as trigger consumer(s) of the trigger source. Along with keyboard keys,
trigger sources can also be grip triggers, external hardware triggers or software-based. When the specified key
is pressed, the trigger consumer (for example, a decoded scanner) is sent a message.
IMPORTANT It is not possible to have two or more identical mappings for example
[F1] cannot be mapped to the Non-Decoded Scanner twice even if the
trigger type is different.

Translations Tab
The Translations tab allows you to define up to 10 cases, each consisting of up to 10 rules in sequential order.
Only one case will be applied to a barcode and a case will only be applied if all rules specified in the case are
successful if a rule within a case fails, the entire case fails.
When you choose a rule, an associated screen is displayed in which you can define the rule.
Settings 4 - 93
Case Rules
The case rules are defined as follows:
No rule ignored.
Match at index matches the match string at a specified index.
Match and replace at index matches the match string at a specified index and replaces/changes it.
Replace at index replaces/changes unspecified data in a given range.
Add barcode prefix/suffix adds a global prefix or suffix.
Verify barcode size verifies the barcode size. This rule should generally be assigned first, before creat-
ing subsequent rules.
Search and replace replaces all instances of the match string. (Note that this rule cannot fail.)
IMPORTANT Keep in mind that the effects of previously applied rules must be taken into
account when creating subsequent rules. For example, if the barcode size
is important, it should be checked before any rules that might change the
size are applied.
The information about the status of each case/rule is displayed in the scan log file (see Scan Log File on
page 4-91) when enabled. This is useful if a case fails, and you are trying to determine why a rule is failing.

Total Recall
Total Recall is a Zebra utility developed to maintain applications and settings during a cold boot, as well as
clone settings to other devices. This utility creates a restore point of a device at a known state. This can be
used as a backup of the device (the administrator can clean the terminal and restore the profile at any time), or
Settings 4 - 99
a clone (the administrator can store different configurations for different uses to clone to other hand-held
computers).
NOTE Total Recall works differently (e.g. restore on cold boot or on clean boot) on dif-
ferent OS platforms and versions (e.g. Windows CE 5.0, 6.0, Windows Mobile,
Windows Embedded Hand-held). For detailed information and other updates on
Total Recall information, please go to the Ingenuity Working website at:
www.ingenuityworking.com/knowledge/w/knowledgebase/total-recall.aspx
In the start up screen, you can choose from four options: Create Backup, Create Clone, Manage Profile, and
Delete Profile.
Creating a Backup
Tap on the Create Backup button to begin the process.
This dialog box displays the Profile Name and the storage destination for the profile file.
IMPORTANT Any profile not stored in persistent memory (Flash Disk, external
USB drive) will be erased during a clean boot; therefore, you should
store profiles on a persistent drive.
IMPORTANT When performing an autorestore, the program only searches for the
profile located in the \Flash Disk\TotalRecall folder. If you store your
profile anywhere else it will not be restored. Only one profile can
reside in that folder.
- Tap on Start. A backup of the current settings will be created and saved to the specified location. The
unit will then reboot.
To view profiles and choose restore options, refer to Managing Profiles on page 4-101.
Creating a Clone
Cloning allows you to copy settings or configurations from one computer to another. There are two types of
clones to choose from: a Full Clone and a Settings Only Clone.
A Full Clone contains all files, most of the registry, and the settings files.
IMPORTANT The target device for a Full Clone MUST have the same model type
and OS build as the source, otherwise problems can occur. For
example, if the target device has a newer build of the OS, the new
build may have a different set of registry keys that may conflict with
the source.
A Settings Only Clone can be copied to a wider array of devices, but it should not be used as an
autorestore profile.
Tap on the Create Clone button to begin the process. Your Omnii model type and OS will be identified in
the cloning statement to ensure that you target devices of the same type.
Give the clone profile a name and location.

IMPORTANT The vehicle cradles are shipped with their own quick start guide
Omnii Vehicle Cradles Quick Start Guide (PN 8000221). It is critical
that it be reviewed for additional information and updates.
The Omnii vehicle cradles are highly ruggedized, single station docks. Although they provide quick insertion
and removal, the cradles hold Omnii securely even when operated in high vibration environments (such as
vehicles not equipped with suspensions).
Mounting holes
Release button
Power/Communications port
Zebra also supplies a range of standard mounts for the hand-held vehicle cradles, and the Omnii vehicle
cradles are compatible with all of them.
Ensure that you read the ST1002 Vehicle Cradle Installation Instruc-
tions document (PN 1020305), enclosed with the ST1002, for
important safety information on connecting fuses.
Pedestal mounts are recommended for all fixed mount locations because they offer optimal operator access. In
addition, for safety reasons, only pedestal mounts with fully locking joints should be used in vehicles. Always
adjust the pedestal for the optimum viewing angle, and securely tighten the hex and wing screws.
The most effective way to mount the vehicle cradle is to use brackets with the MT3324 (short arm) or MT3325
(standard arm) kit. The ST1002 requires either the MT3326 or MT3327 bracket; the ST1000 requires the
MT3328 bracket.

IMPORTANT It is strongly recommended that all fork lift mounting solutions use clamp
bases rather than plate bases that require penetrating through the vehicle
for installation.
Choose from one of the following clamp bases to secure the vehicle cradle/arm assembly to the vehicle:
MT3505
MT3507
IMPORTANT Plate bases are not recommended for forklift mounting solutions. If a plate
rather than a clamp base is used, you will need to penetrate into the struc-
ture of the vehicle, a process requiring additional hardware. The following
plate bases are available:

For a diagram of a power with communications setup, see Figure 5-21 Connecting ST1002 to vehicle power
and communications in a typical setup on page 5-25.
The Omnii charging LED (see Battery Charge Status LED on page 2-15) indicates that external power is
available, and it also indicates the charging status of the internal battery.
Wiring Guidelines
Before installing the cables between the cradle and other devices, consider the following:
Ensure that drilling holes will not damage the vehicle or its wiring.
Protect cable runs from pinching, overheating and physical damage.
Use grommets to protect cables that pass through metal.
Use plastic straps and tie-downs to secure cables and connectors in their desired location, away from
areas where they may get snagged or pulled.
Keep cables away from heat sources, grease, battery acid and other potential hazards.
Keep cables away from control pedals and other moving parts that may damage the cables or interfere
with the operation of the vehicle.
Due to the hazardous voltages present on these vehicles, it is necessary to ensure that the powered cradle
power supply cable connector is not accessible to the vehicle operator, and does not get exposed to water
or other liquids. Exposing an accessible power connector to water or other liquids could create a
hazardous situation resulting in serious injury or death. Avoiding this hazard can be accomplished in the
following way.
Use the PS1350 pre-regulator or, for freezer applications (-30C), the PS1370 pre-regulator.
5 - 24 Omnii (Windows Embedded Hand-Held 6.5) User Guide
Ensure the power connector is wrapped securely with a waterproof electrical tape and installed in a dry
location on the vehicle, away from the vehicle operators reach (perhaps under a vehicle dash or in a
sealed housing).
Cover the power connector with a waterproof heat shrink material (see Extreme Wet Environments for
additional details).
All other installation requirements outlined in this document should also be followed for High Voltage vehicles
to insure safe installation and operation of the powered cradle.
NOTE When connecting PN 13985-301 (Screen Blanking version), ensure that the
screen blanking wires (clearly labelled) and the power wires (red/black leads)
are reliably secured away from each other, or are separated with reliably
secured certified insulation. A minimum 2.8mm distance, or 0.4mm distance
through insulation, is required for the separation.
The red lead of the power cable attaches to the positive vehicle supply. The black lead connects to the nega-
tive supply this should be connected to a proper terminal block and not to the vehicle body.
You may have the option of connecting power before or after the key switch. It is preferable to wire the power
cradle after the key switch that is, it cannot be turned on without the key on. However, if the operator
switches the key off repeatedly for long periods during a shift, it may make more sense to wire the cradle
before the switch.
Keep in mind that Omnii will continue to operate with or without vehicle power as long as its battery has suffi-
cient charge. If an unfused power source must be used, a fuse assembly (PN 19440-300) must be added to
the extension power cable (the fuse and instructions are supplied with the cable). Use only a 4A fast blow UL
approved fuse in the fuse assembly (PN 9016622).
WARNING 11.530 Vdc input only, suitable for road vehicles. A pre-regulator is
required for use on forklifts. For such installations, Zebra recom-

IMPORTANT The battery charger is shipped with its own quick start guide
ST3006 6-Slot Battery Charger Quick Start Guide (PN 8000204). It is
critical that it be reviewed for additional information and updates.

Installation
The charger can be wall mounted using the wall mount kit (MT2031) or it can be operated on a flat surface.
Install the charger in an area that is free from excessive dirt, dust and contaminants. The ambient temperature
must be in the range 5C to 39C (41F to 102F). The charger will not charge batteries outside of this temper-

ature range. For maximum performance, it is recommended that the charger be operated at room temperature
a temperature range between 18C to 25C (64F to 77F).
The charger can consume up to 6 A at 120 VAC, 3A at 240 VAC. Check to ensure the mains circuit supplying
the charger is adequate for this loading (especially if several chargers are being powered from the same
circuit). After unpacking the unit:
IMPORTANT Use IEC-320 C13 power cords approved by Zebra, with the ground pin con-
nected to a proper earth-grounded receptacle. Check with a qualified electrician
if you are uncertain of your receptacle grounding.
All charge indicators flash momentarily at power up to indicate that the charger is ready for operation.
If you choose to wall mount the charger, detailed installation instructions are included in the Omnii 6-Slot
Battery Charger ST3006 Quick Start Guide (PN 8000204) included with the charger kit. Be sure to locate the
charger in an area where there is no risk of injury to persons walking in the vicinity.
Operator Controls
The gang charger does not have operator controls or a power switch. There is no dedicated indicator light to
show that the charger is powered, but the charge slot LEDs will light up briefly when first applying power.
Charge Indicators
Each battery charge slot is equipped with four LEDs to indicate the charge status of the battery. When the
Omnii batteries are inserted in the charger, the colour and behaviour of the LEDs associated with the charging
bays in use indicate the status of the charge.
Charging Batteries
Install the battery with the battery contacts facing the charger. Slide the battery between the guide rails
until it lightly latches in place.
The 4-LED bar for the battery bay shows 25% charger per LED. A flashing green LED shows charging is under
way. The LED directly below the slot in which a battery is inserted lights up immediately. If the battery tempera-
ture is outside 0C to 40C (32F to 104F), the LED flashes yellow until the temperature is acceptable. A fully
discharged battery will normally take 4.5 hours to charge. At full capacity, it turns solid green.
When the battery is fully charged, the charger stops applying power; the battery cannot be overcharged if left in
the charger slot.
5 - 28 Omnii (Windows Embedded Hand-Held 6.5) User Guide
Troubleshooting
Improper Battery Storage
Storing batteries in the gang charger for extended periods (more than a week or two) is not recommended.
Lithium-ion batteries lose capacity if they are maintained at full charge for long periods of time. See the battery
handling recommendations in The Battery on page 1-5.

BImagers Applet
Required Applets
In order to configure imaging, the Manage Triggers applet must be present in the Settings>System tab along
with the Imagers applet.
Presets
There are two methods that can be used to configure an imager using the Imagers applet:
A preset is a group of exposure and image correction settings. Each preset configures the imager for a specific
purpose such as barcode decoding or image capture.
Presets also allow easier and faster configuration of the imager after power-on or resume from suspend.
The predefined presets are generic and satisfy most user requirements. A custom preset can be created for a
specific user application, such as: include only specified barcodes, read only a specified number of barcodes
or for reading unusual media.
Every preset belongs to a preset type. The following preset types are available:
At any time, only one preset of each type can be designated as the user-selected active preset.
Predefined Presets
Predefined presets are built into the imaging software and cannot be changed. The predefined presets allow
you to use the imager to perform specified tasks without having to understand and set numerous variables. In
almost all cases these predefined presets are sufficient.
Factory Default
This preset enables the decoding of frequently used barcodes.
My Default
The barcodes in this preset can be enabled, disabled and so on.
All
This preset enables the decoding of all barcodes that the imager can decode. For a list of these symbologies
see Imager Barcode Symbologies on page B-20 and Color Camera Barcode Symbologies on page B-21.
Linear
This preset enables the decoding of all the 1D symbologies that the imager can decode. For a list of these
symbologies see Imager Barcode Symbologies on page B-20 and Color Camera Barcode Symbologies on
page B-21
Matrix
This preset enables the decoding of all 2D symbologies that the imager can decode. See Imager Barcode
Symbologies on page B-20 and Color Camera Barcode Symbologies on page B-21 for a list of
these symbologies.
Postal
This preset enables the decoding of all the postal symbologies that the imager can decode. See Imager
Barcode Symbologies on page B-20 and Color Camera Barcode Symbologies on page B-21 for a list of
these symbologies.
Default
This preset works in a wide range of conditions. It is optimized for a normal office lighting (about 300 Lux).
Low light
This preset is designed for very dark conditions such as inside a warehouse where the lights are kept low, or
inside an unlit truck. This preset increases either the exposure time or the gain.
Imagers Applet B-5
Low power
This preset minimizes the use of the flash so as to conserve the battery power on the Omnii.
Glossy surface
This preset minimizes the use of the flash so as to reduce reflection. This preset is used to read barcodes that
are behind glass, or inside the plastic window of an envelope.
Default
This preset works in a wide range of conditions. It is optimized for a normal office lighting (about 300 Lux).
Motion
This preset uses a shorter exposure time so as to freeze motion.

available:
CScanner Settings
Barcode Settings
The Scanners icon provides dialog boxes in which you can tailor barcode scanner configurations and choose
the barcodes your scanner will recognize.
The parameters are preset with the default settings of the decoded scanner installed in the unit.
IMPORTANT To enable a newly-installed scanner, press and hold down the [FN]
key and the [ENTER/Power] key simultaneously for a minimum of
three seconds.
Scanner Options
The drop-down menu to the right of the Scanner option allows you to choose configurations for one of the
following scanner types, depending on what is installed in/on your hand-held: Decoded (internal), Decoded
(HHP), Decoded (Intermec ISCP), and Non-decoded Scanners.
The symbologies listed change to reflect the scanner you choose and the barcodes it supports. Always
defer to your barcode scanners programming manual when in doubt about the availability or settings for
any parameter.
NOTE Your Omnii comes preconfigured from the factory for internal scanner types. To
determine the type of scanner installed in your unit, go to
Start>Setting>System>System Properties icon.
C-4 Omnii (Windows Embedded Hand-Held 6.5) User Guide
IMPORTANT To improve the decode speed and performance, enable (set to on)
only those codes that are required by the application.
Keep in mind that some barcode types are only available when an internal imaging scanner is installed. All
internal scanners can be configured using these dialog boxes.
Choose Default parameter to reset only the parameter you selected, or choose Default all settings to
reset all scanner parameters to default settings.
Options
NOTE Some options are available only for specific scanners. Refer to the option
names in this section for scanner model identification.
Laser On Time
The value assigned to this parameter determines how long the laser will remain on when the scan button or
trigger is pressed.
Double-tapping on this parameter displays a dialog box in which you can enter a value between 5 and 99. The
value is measured in tenths of seconds.
Scanner Settings C-5
Aim Duration
This parameter determines the total time the aiming pattern appears before the scanner laser begins
sweeping. When you double-tap on this parameter, a dialog box is displayed in which you can enter a value
from 0 to 30 (0 to 3 sec.). A value of 0 (zero) disables the aiming-dot.
Power Mode
This parameter is a power-saving option. Tapping on it displays a screen listing two power mode options:
Continuous Power and Low Power.
In Continuous Power mode, the scanner is always on, waiting for a trigger pull or serial communication.
In Low Power mode, the scanner is in a standby state, drawing minimal power until a trigger pull or serial
communication wakes it. Keep in mind that while this option is more suitable for battery powered applications,
there will be a slight delay while the scanner powers up to scan a barcode.
This is only used if the units Trigger Mode has been changed to Continuous On. If the unit is used in a fixed
mount this parameter might be used, but not if the unit is used as a hand-held.
When you double-tap on this parameter, a dialog box is displayed in which you can choose a value of 30 sec.,
1 min., 2 min. or 3 min.
NOTE This parameter is only used if the Trigger Mode has been set to Continuous On
and Omnii is mounted in a fixed position; otherwise, Low Power Timeout is
not used.
Parameter Scanning
Setting this parameter to on enables decoding of parameter barcodes.
Double-tapping on this parameter displays a dialog box in which you can enter a value from 1 to 4.
C-6 Omnii (Windows Embedded Hand-Held 6.5) User Guide
Linear security level 1 specifies that the following code types must be successfully read twice before
being decoded:
Linear security level 2 specifies that all types of codes must be successfully read twice before being decoded.
Linear security level 3 specifies that code types other than the following must be successfully read twice before
being decoded. The following codes must be read three times:
Linear security level 4 requires that all code types be successfully read three times before being decoded.
Bi-Direction Redundancy
When this parameter is enabled, a barcode must be successfully scanned in both directions (forward and
reverse) before being decoded.
When you double-tap on this parameter, a dialog box is displayed in which you can choose a transmit code:
None, AIM or Symbol.
Double-tapping on Scan Data Format displays the following options from which you can choose a data format:
data (as-is), data [S1], data [S2], data [S1][S2], [P] data, [P] data [S1], [P] data [S2] and [P] data [S1][S2].
When this parameter is enabled, the scanner transmits data from PDF417 and MicroPDF417 barcodes
containing Character Set ECIs, even when the ECI Protocol is disabled.
ECI Decoder
Setting this parameter to on enables the scanner to interpret any Extended Channel Interpretations (ECIs)
supported by the scanner. This parameter has no effect on symbols that were not encoded using ECIs.
If this parameter is set to off and a symbol that was encoded using an ECI escape is scanned, the scanner
transmits the ECI escape followed by the uninterpreted data.
The barcode symbologies for the scanner are listed in the table following.
Decoded (HHP)
To configure imagers, please see Appendix B: Imagers Applet.
Tap on the Scanner drop-down menu, and choose Decoded (Intermec ISCP).
Double-tapping on this parameter displays a dialog box in which you can enter a value between 1 and 10
seconds.
When you double-tap on this parameter, a dialog box is displayed in which you can choose a value of 30 sec,
1 min, 2 min, or 3 min.
NOTE This parameter is only used if the Trigger Mode has been set to Continuous
On and the unit is mounted in a fixed position; otherwise, Low Power Timeout
is not used.
Parameter Scanning
Setting this parameter to Enabled allows decoding of parameter barcodes.
The barcode symbologies for the scanner are listed in table following.
Non-Decoded Scanners
All the available barcode symbologies for this type of scanner can be selected in this tab.
A plus sign (+) to the left of the menu item indicates that a sub-menu of parameters is attached.
Highlight the barcode you want to work with, and press the [RIGHT] arrow key to display the sub-menu.
Use the [UP] and [DOWN] arrow keys to highlight a parameter.
To change a parameter value, press [SPACE] or the [RIGHT] arrow key. If a field requires text entry, a text
box is displayed in which you can enter the appropriate value.
Options
Tap on the + sign next to Options to display these parameters.
Short Code
When enabled, this parameter allows scanning of short I 2 of 5 barcodes (2 characters). When disabled, these
short barcodes are rejected.
Enabling Short Code may reduce the robustness of the decoding since the hand-held must decode more
potential barcodes; it is therefore not recommended for general-purpose barcodes with 4 or more characters.
Verify
The value entered for this parameter determines the number of correct additional decodes required after the
initial decode, prior to a barcode being accepted. Higher values significantly increase the time it takes to
decode a barcode but also improve the reliability of the decoded barcode.
Security
This parameter controls the tolerance for decoding edge-to-edge barcodes (Code 93, Code 128, UPC/EAN).
Lower values have a lower tolerance for misreads, but they also increase the time it takes to decode the
barcode. The default value of 30 is generally a good compromise setting.
The barcode symbologies for the scanner are listed in table following.

F-8 Omnii (Windows Embedded Hand-Held 6.5) User Guide
To ensure proper operation of the hand-held device in a freezer environment, the surface temperature is
managed by the heating system to prevent the formation of external/internal condensation on critical modules.
The heating system consists of two heating elements; one for the display and one for the scan window.
Tap on Start>Settings>System.
Settings
The Quick Defrost application opens in the Settings tab.
Suspend Threshold
The Suspend Threshold option allows you to maintain heat for a limited time when the computer enters
Suspend mode. Once the threshold is reached, the heater will stay off while the computer is in suspend.
To set the time, slide the trackbar to the desired time and click OK. Values range from 0 to 5 minutes.
NOTE Keep in mind that a longer suspend threshold will reduce the overall battery shift life.
Scan Window
The Scan Window option allows the user to set the power level for the periphery scan window heater. There
are two pull down options:
High power (default): This heating profile is designed for users who are in and out of the freezer frequently
(with a freezer dwell time of less than 20 minutes). This heating profile keeps a constant positive temperature
on the scan window, eliminating external and/or internal condensation from frequent transitions.
NOTE Keep in mind that this heating algorithm provides additional power at the expense of
the battery shift life.
Low power: This heating profile is designed for users who spend long durations in the freezer environment. It is
a less aggressive algorithm, compared to the High power mode, that maximizes battery shift life. This profile
addresses the formation of internal condensation to keep the scan window clear of condensation.
These two scan window power modes can be adjusted on the fly, providing the user with the needed flexibility
for optimal performance.
Heater Info
In the Quick Defrost dialog box, open the Heater Info tab. This dialog box allows you to monitor the status
of each heater and test the entire system.

APPENDIX G WIRELESS WIDE AREA
NETWORK (WWAN)
Wireless WAN
Zebra offers the Cinterion MC75i EDGE WWAN radio and a Cinterion PH8-P HSPA+ WWAN radio. An Omnii
Hand-Held Computer equipped with a GSM/GPRS radio has wide area networking capabilities. With this radio
and a SIM card, you can wirelessly transfer data, and you use the Omnii voice option to place phone calls.
When a modem detects that a packet data service is available, a letter is added to the signal strength icon indi-
cating the type of service. Keep in mind that the signal strength icon is displayed without a letter if packet data
service is not available, or if it is available but not yet initialized.
The symbols in the navigation bar identifying the modem connection are as follows:
G - GSM/GPRS
E - GSM/EDGE
U - UMTS 3G
H - UMTS/HSPA+
Tap on the a Navigation bar at the top of the screen to display the hotkeys. Tap on the Phone Settings
hotkey.
First, tap here to display your options.
In the Phone Settings bubble, tap on Settings to display the phone setting tabs.
G-4 Omnii (Windows Embedded Hand-Held 6.5) User Guide
By default the connection uses CHAP (Challenge Handshake Authentication Protocol); however, if your ISP
does not support CHAP, tapping in the box to the left of PAP only authentication for: directs the connection to
use PAP (Password Authentication Protocol) instead.
NOTE Any application that needs Internet access will establish a packet data con-
nection for example, e-mail.
Tap on the navigation bar at the top of the screen, and then tap on the Phone Settings hotkey. In the
pop-up Phone bubble, tap on Wireless Manager.
Tap on the Menu button in the softkey bar at the bottom of the Wireless Manager screen, and choose Dis-
connect Cellular Data.
One or more parameters in the database are incorrect or a new operator is not yet in the database. (The
database should be corrected for subsequent software releases.)
An operator has assigned individual GPRS user names and passwords.
A very large site has its own Access Point Name (APN). Such connections must be configured manually.
A customer has subscribed for a static IP address. By definition this must be configured manually.
In most cases, you should choose Add a new modem connection from ISP: WWAN - GPRS. However, if you
need to use a Proxy server, choose this option from My Work Network.
NOTE For details about assigning a PIN number, refer to Phone: Security Tab on
page 4-53.
Bands
By default, all frequency bands are enabled. Bands should not be disabled without knowledge about which
bands are used by your network; an incorrect setting will prevent the WWAN modem from finding the network.
G-8 Omnii (Windows Embedded Hand-Held 6.5) User Guide
Network Configuration
By default the radio modem automatically chooses from the available and allowed networks (allowed networks
are the home network and all other networks with which the home network has a roaming agreement). You
may find there are some situations in which you want to override this default behaviour. For example, you
might want to disable roaming if you find yourself in a border area where the home network is not available but
a foreign roaming partner is available. Abroad, you may find that an available network does not have GPRS
roaming agreements. In this case, youll need to manually select the network which you know supports GPRS
roaming.
Automatic network selection is enabled by default. You can also choose a network manually from the
drop-down menu.
NOTE Your home network operator will need to let you know which other networks
have roaming agreements. Even when a network is listed with an Available
status, it does not necessarily follow that it can be used or that the roaming
agreement covers GPRS.
Hearing Aid
This tab allows you to enable the hearing aid service.
